You were tasked with assisting Di Xin, and you turned him into a Human Emperor?

Moreover, Deng Jiugong now possesses Top-Tier Innate Root. This reward from the System means that starting from this moment, if he were to cultivate for a hundred years without any external aid, the increase in his cultivation would be this amount.

In other words, with Deng Jiugong's current cultivation and foundation, after a hundred years of cultivation, he would reach the mid-stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

With the increase in his cultivation, Deng Jiugong's strength improved considerably.

At this moment, he could also barely discern Jiang Ziya's cultivation level; it was actually the Mystic Immortal Realm.

Legend had it that Jiang Ziya had no affinity for the immortal path.

Was the starting realm of the immortal path the Golden Immortal Realm?

Without longevity, unable to escape the five decays of heaven and man, one had not attained the immortal path!

Without reaching the Golden Immortal Realm, one's strength would not undergo a qualitative improvement. Even though Jiang Ziya cultivated Chan Sect's techniques, and the techniques were not of low grade, compared to Deng Jiugong's Pangu Divine Art, there was still a gap in quality.

Although there was a difference of two major realms between Deng Jiugong's and Jiang Ziya's cultivation.

However, Deng Jiugong had mastered a great divine ability, and in Deng Jiugong's eyes, the grade of Jiang Ziya's techniques was far inferior to his own.

Compared to Deng Jiugong, Jiang Ziya's cultivation was, at best, shoddy.

Buzz!

The first clash put Jiang Ziya at a disadvantage.

This time, Jiang Ziya actually brought out the God-Beating Whip.

The God-Beating Whip specialized in striking immortals and gods, possessing immense power, and it was a Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure.

In the Primordial Era, Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasures were the strongest grade of Innate Spirit Treasures below Innate Supreme Treasures.

The power of Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasures was too immense; only those who reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm could fully unleash their might.

As for Quasi-Saint powerhouses, holding a Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure allowed them to exert extraordinary power.

However, Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasures also had considerable utility for Saints, and in the hands of a Saint, they could be used to their absolute limit.

For instance, Tongtian Sect Master's Qingping Sword and Jieyin Daoist's Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit were both Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasures.

At this moment, with Jiang Ziya unleashing the God-Beating Whip, even with Deng Jiugong's improved cultivation, he was under immense pressure.

Fortunately, Jiang Ziya's cultivation was not particularly high, so the power that the God-Beating Whip could unleash in his hands was relatively limited.

Buzz!

Just then, Jiang Ziya channeled his mana, and the God-Beating Whip in his hand struck directly at Deng Jiugong.

The terrifying might of the Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure made Deng Jiugong's expression grave.

Deng Jiugong's Crimson Copper Saber was merely a Low-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure; how could it possibly contend with the God-Beating Whip!

However, with the great battle imminent, Deng Jiugong could only brace himself and fight.

Buzz!

Deng Jiugong pushed his cultivation technique to its limit and unleashed the Dragon Subduing Tiger Subduing divine ability. As Deng Jiugong swung his saber, the sounds of dragon roars and tiger growls echoed, and that terrifying power suddenly slashed towards Jiang Ziya.

Deng Jiugong's cultivation had improved, and his attack at this moment possessed even greater power.

Boom!

The Crimson Copper Saber seemed to carry infinite might as it struck the God-Beating Whip.

Under Deng Jiugong's horrified gaze, his Crimson Copper Saber could not withstand the power of the God-Beating Whip. Its spiritual light drastically diminished, and it was almost blown apart.

Clearly, in a clash of this magnitude, Deng Jiugong's Crimson Copper Saber was indeed inferior in grade.

The vast difference in cultivation could be compensated by Deng Jiugong's techniques and divine abilities, but the immense disparity in Magic Treasures was irreconcilable.

In this exchange, Deng Jiugong fell into a disadvantage, and his Crimson Copper Saber was nearly shattered.

Yet, while Deng Jiugong was at a disadvantage, Jiang Ziya's expression changed drastically.

It was evident that Deng Jiugong had become much stronger than before.

If he hadn't had the God-Beating Whip in hand, he would likely have been more severely injured this time.

As he sparred with Deng Jiugong, Jiang Ziya was horrified to discover that although Deng Jiugong's cultivation was not as high as that of the now-deceased Wen Zhong, his actual combat power had already surpassed Wen Zhong's.

After Wen Zhong's death, Jiang Ziya's cultivation had improved again. It was only by relying on the power of the God-Beating Whip that he could now block Deng Jiugong's attack.

Deng Jiugong was truly formidable.

The low grade of the Magic Treasure in Deng Jiugong's hand only allowed him to barely fight Jiang Ziya, yet he could still persist.

While Deng Jiugong and Jiang Ziya were locked in battle, the armies of Shang and Zhou also engaged in fierce fighting.

Juliusun watched quietly. As a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, he would not interfere in the battles of mortals, unwilling to become entangled in such karma.

Such matters were typically handled by the third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect.

Only if Shen Gongbao invited experts from the Sect of Interception would the Chan Sect Golden Immortals intervene, killing them to weaken the Sect of Interception's strength.

However, if the opposing generals were too strong and Xiqi was unable to contend, they could also intervene to suppress the opposing commander.

Juliusun was contemplating whether to help Jiang Ziya suppress Deng Jiugong when, unexpectedly, his disciple Tu Xingsun encountered trouble and was instantly captured by Kong Xuan.

"Disciple."

Seeing this, Juliusun was greatly alarmed.

Originally, once Tu Xingsun captured Deng Chanyu, they could consider retreating.

At that time, if Tu Xingsun forced the issue, Deng Jiugong would have no choice but to surrender.

He never expected Tu Xingsun to be captured by Kong Xuan.

"Immortal Binding Rope!"

At this moment, Juliusun unleashed the Immortal Binding Rope, directly binding Kong Xuan.

"Finally couldn't hold back, huh!"

Kong Xuan looked at Juliusun, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

A Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

"Five-Colored Divine Light!"

With a thought, Kong Xuan unleashed the Five-Colored Divine Light. A flash of light streaked across, and the Immortal Binding Rope was instantly brushed away.

Seeing this, Juliusun was dumbfounded.

"This!!!"

At this point, he knew that Kong Xuan was a powerful expert.

Moreover, Kong Xuan's strength was likely even greater than his own.

If his strength wasn't superior to his own, how could he instantly take away his Magic Treasure?

Juliusun suddenly had a bad premonition.

Just now, Kong Xuan's divine ability had given him an overwhelming sense of crisis.

This sense of crisis was something Juliusun never wanted to experience again in his life.

He recalled his previous battle with the three disciples of the Sect of Interception, San Xiao. Even the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, working together, were no match for San Xiao who had set up the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

Afterward, their top three flowers were shaved off, their five internal energies were extinguished, and they nearly died in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

It was only when his master, Saint Yuanshi, personally intervened that they were saved. Later, with the help of his master, Primordial Heavenly Venerate, their strength was restored.

He never imagined that he would encounter an opponent stronger than himself at this moment!

Sensing the power of Kong Xuan's divine ability, Juliusun lost the will to fight before it even began, nearly wetting himself in fear.

"I must escape quickly!"

Juliusun abandoned his disciple Tu Xingsun and immediately used his earth escape technique, vanishing instantly.

The Five-Colored Divine Light was Kong Xuan's innate divine ability, formed from the five fundamental feathers on Kong Xuan's tail, fused with the innate Five Elements Qi. In the Primordial Era, it was known to be able to brush away anything and break through anything.

It was also because Kong Xuan had no intention of killing Juliusun that Juliusun was able to escape so easily.

Otherwise, with Kong Xuan's divine ability, Juliusun would not have been able to flee.

After Juliusun fled in terror from Kong Xuan, Jiang Ziya was completely stunned.

If even his senior brother Juliusun couldn't deal with this opponent, how could they possibly contend with him?

Turning back, Jiang Ziya saw that the elite soldiers of Xiqi he had brought with him had already been mostly wiped out by Deng Jiugong's army. This made Jiang Ziya's heart bleed, and he was deeply pained.

These were the strongest elite soldiers Xiqi had cultivated for a long time, and now more than half of them were lost after he brought them out.

"Retreat!"

Jiang Ziya's voice was hoarse. Mana surged around him, lifting many people as they quickly withdrew.

Behind him, Yang Jian, Nezha, Lei Zhenzi, and many other experts, who were being encircled and annihilated by the Xiqi army, quickly disengaged and fled, looking quite disheveled.

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for defeating Jiang Ziya and obtaining an Innate Spirit Fruit!"

At this moment, the System's prompt sounded in Deng Jiugong's mind.

"This is possible too!!!"

Deng Jiugong's heart rejoiced.
